What you should know
Fertilization depends on the egg, sperm, and lab process. Some eggs show abnormal fertilization. Your lab can explain how many eggs were mature and how many fertilized in the expected way. One cycle may not explain why a problem happened.
What to ask your care team
“How many mature eggs did I have, and what does fertilization tell us?”
One important reminder
A low fertilization number does not by itself prove the cause.
Before your next visit
Write down your questions. Bring your medicine list and any test results you have. Ask for a plan in writing. If an answer is not clear, ask your team to explain it in a different way.
